We have opposition party in the Government, critic committee in film industry and theatre company. People should understand that criticism is for the healthy development of a company or association. The Roman Catholic Church was not functioning from the time of its formation. There was lot of corruption then and lot of unwanted things did happen. This angered Martin Luther who revolted against the church. Had then did the top leaders of the church viz the Pope and the cardinals and their advisory body had to take a concrete decision taking the criticism as the main point of discussion and remedy was to be sought then, the church would not have been divided. Today the same corruption has surfaced in the church. The system of running the church and keeping the reigns in the hands of the clergy has called doomsday near. The population of the clergy is diminishing and in Goa what ever handful of clergy is available many prefer to jump to the oversee greener pasture where they make dollars fill their pockets. Its time that lay people should stop throwing donations to the churches for various projects and it is high time that the parishioners stop being “Nana Boil “ dumb bulls and shaking their heads at every call given by the clergy for donations. Its time for the parishioners to say, ok enough is enough now please let us maintain our churches and let the clergy only look after the spiritual part and at the same time justice should be done to the pay packet of the clergy as they are also human beings like us and some little but not too much luxury can be given to them.
